Lego Haunted House

With the recent retirement of the Lego monster Fighters Series (probably making way for the Lego Movie sets) I decided to get the Haunted House set 10228 before it also disappeared.

We have in our living room the Addams Family Pinball Machine and I wanted my own Addams Family mansion, which this set is!

I love the main colour of the set which reminds me of Pacers sweets; these were like Starbust aka Opal Fruits but green & white striped and minty. I think they were removed from production as the green wasn't a 'healthy' food colouring. Haunted House colour is therefore....

...Childhood Memory Illegal Green!

Cousin It

The next nice thing about this set is the mini accessories; a top hat, ship in a bottle, heart in a jar etc. With one of the two 'falling over dead shrubs' the top hat makes an excellent Cousin It!

Heart in a jar!

Hinge opening

This set is 2064 pieces of Lego happiness. It's cleverly built with a sturdy hinge opening, wonky windows, gargoyle like heads, a folding ladder, glow in the dark ghosts, bump in the night furniture and some great kreepy/kooky minifigures.
